Document Database Use Cases

In This Chapter

arrow Distributing electronic articles

arrow Controlling unstructured data feeds

arrow Modifying data structures

arrow Joining data streams

Documents are all around us. From shopping orders to patient notes to books like this one. A world of infinite possibilities exists with documents.

Knowing which use cases can be handled by a document NoSQL database is an increasing challenge. Unlike some other types of NoSQL databases in this book, document database providers are continually adding new features that enable you to turn plain data storage into more functional information.

The use cases I describe in this chapter are industry- and solution-agnostic, which makes sense because there are so many ways to apply document databases. Take each example as a suggested “recipe” and apply it to your particular data-management needs.
